India has set many new milestones in the last few years, but the number of poor in the country is still very high. Similarly, many schemes are run by the Central and State Government for the poor, which provide them financial assistance. The Uttar Pradesh government is also running a similar scheme for poor children, which works to connect them with education and for this the government helps them.
Children get help every month
Uttar Pradesh government is running Shramik Vidya Yojana to help poor children, under which such children are given financial assistance every month. Under this scheme, poor boys are given Rs 1000 per month and poor girls are given Rs 1200 per month. The scheme aims to specifically target children who are orphans or are so economically weak that they cannot go to school.
Who can apply?
Only those poor children can avail the benefit of this scheme whose one or both of their parents have died. Apart from this, children whose parents are permanently disabled will also be given help under this scheme. This scheme also includes children whose parents are suffering from serious illness. However, they should not own any kind of land.
To avail the benefits of this scheme, you can contact your nearest Gram Panchayat officer. You can also apply online. To apply for the scheme, you will also have to provide some documents, which include documents like family income, Aadhar card, passport size photo and residence certificate. If there are children around you who are unable to go to school and are earning their living by working as labourers, then you can tell them about this scheme of the UP government. You can also get them registered under this scheme.
